Relishing Sustainability
The food LAB unites stakeholders from diverse sectors including the food industry, research, associations, politics, agriculture, gastronomy, and retail at BE-U. Our core mission is to collaboratively implement sustainable food concepts within the BE-U framework. This is achieved by tackling various thematic focal points in specially selected working groups, which are discussed across multiple sessions.
Through ongoing partnerships with prospective businesses, retailers, and gastronomic venues at BE-U, our objective is to establish a resilient and sustainable urban food ecosystem.
Guided by our dedication to innovation and sustainable urban food systems at BE-U, we introduce concepts grounded in ecological, economic, and social sustainability principles.
Our overarching goal is to establish a model for progressive dietary practices, positioning BE-U as a local and regional leader in sustainable food initiatives. Our vision extends to transforming BE-U into a sustainable urban hub, emphasizing sustainable food provision and culinary experiences.
The three pillars
of our approach:

"Our gastronomic concept for BE-U aims to establish sustainable partnerships to create a future-proof gastronomy. Recognizing that one-fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to food, we acknowledge the crucial role of gastronomy in environmental improvement. Through conscious consumption and sustainability, we aim not only to promote enjoyment in our establishments but also to foster a new appreciation for food and nutrition."
